General201674 sections6 chapters

This Act establishes a framework for land pooling development schemes across Rajasthan, allowing landowners to combine their properties for grouped urban development. It governs the process of creating preliminary schemes, determining the distribution of land among contributors, and compensating owners when land is used for public purposes such as roads, infrastructure, and community facilities. The legislation applies to landowners, notified local authorities, and development agencies within the state. By regulating this process, the law aims to simplify land acquisition for urban growth, ensure fair compensation for stakeholders, and facilitate organized, sustainable city planning.
